Need for Speed: Shift Demo

Rate

Need for Speed SHIFT delivers the true driver's experience with a stunning cockpit view, deep career mode and amazing car roster. You will be thrust into the loud, intense, and athletic experience of racing a car from the driver's perspective through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the all-new brutally disorienting crash dynamic. Prove your skill on two tracks - London River and the world famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps using one of 4 unlocked cars. Collect enough stars while you race to unlock the ultimate in performance, the Pagani Zonda F.

controlling the cars is a quite nightmarish even with a gamepad, not because it is a simulator but because it steers like mad if pushed any little beyond the minimum and the calibration options don't do anything. It also takes a lot more than it should to load your profile, car previews in menus, circuits, and when back to main menu (with a high-end pc). My experience hasn't been good.

Great game, bought it, but like someone mentioned the loading in menus is a bit slow, i've got a core i7 and dual video cards... maybe it's just a bug and it will be updated. Gameplay is great, I tried a quick race with the top end cars, 15 opponents...it's nuts.

I was alittle surprised when I tried it, the graphics and sounds are up to snuff, physics model is alittle lacking, Feels like the rear tires are always spinning, maybe something they could fix in a patch, but they probably wont. A solid release, but not a simulation by any means. Head over to Iracing if your looking for real
